  • Pedro Pascal Shares He’s a ‘Big Spoon’ and Now We’re All Little Spoons

    Pedro Pascal Shares He’s a ‘Big Spoon’ and Now We’re All Little Spoons

    It was supposed to be a standard Vogue promo interview, a lighthearted “Off The Cuff” chat between Materialists co-stars Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal. Instead, it turned into a viral queer fever dream, thanks to a single, sultry word whispered by Pascal: “Big.”

    Yes, we’re talking about that moment. Johnson turned to Pascal and casually asked, “Big spoon or little spoon?” Without missing a beat, and with all the velvety confidence of someone who’s broken the internet before, Pascal leaned in, locked eyes with the camera, and whispered, “Big.”

    Cue: a collective gay gasp heard across the globe.

    The Art of Flirt and Feral Energy

    From the jump, the interview is dripping with chaotic chemistry. There’s playful name-calling (“Bitch.” “Bitch.”), confessions of green hummus lies, and an entire tangent where Johnson shares her childhood nickname was cock. (Spelled “Coqui,” but phonetically? You heard it right.) The two zigzag through questions ranging from reality show dreams to “What’s your ideal night out?” spoiler: Pedro’s is a night in.

    But it’s the “big spoon” bombshell that launched a thousand tweets.

    Big Spoon Pedro: The Fan Reaction

    Online, queer fans are losing it, and rightfully so. One viral post on X read, ““big spoon or little spoon?” “…big.” WHY’D HE HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT?!” Another user declared, “PEDRO IS THE BIG SPOON !!! NOBODY TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW.”

    TikTok is flooded with edits of the whisper heard ‘round the world, usually paired with dramatic slow-motion and orchestral swells. The vibe? Horny with a side of reverence.

    Pedro Pascal has long been hailed as the internet’s daddy, zaddy, and everything in between, but this moment? This was sacred. It was feral-core. And queer fans have claimed it like a rainbow at the end of a very sexy storm.

    ‘Materialists’ Hits Theaters June 13

    The press tour antics are all in support of Materialists, the upcoming film set to hit theaters June 13. If the onscreen chemistry is even half as unhinged and delightful as this interview, we’re in for a cinematic treat.

    Until then, we’ll be watching the “Big Spoon” clip on loop. For science. For culture. For the gays.

  • Vogueing Pedro: Pascal’s Sensational Dancing Rocks AirPods Commercial

    Vogueing Pedro: Pascal’s Sensational Dancing Rocks AirPods Commercial

    Pedro Pascal is giving fans yet another reason to swoon in his latest commercial for Apple’s AirPods 4. The actor, known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, is seen dancing up a storm in the new short film, titled “Someday,” directed by Her filmmaker Spike Jonze.

    The quirky commercial follows the story of a man grappling with a breakup who transforms his bleak, Arctic surroundings into a vibrant dreamscape — all thanks to the power of his AirPods’ Active Noise Cancellation feature. While the premise may be unconventional, Pascal’s infectious charm and energy bring the commercial to life, making it an instant hit with viewers.

    In the ad, Pascal, 49, isn’t just a handsome face; he shows off some impressive dance moves that have the internet buzzing. Despite not being a classically trained dancer, Pascal worked with Tanisha Scott, a renowned choreographer who has worked with Rihanna and Beyoncé, to perfect his routine. Pascal’s dance style ranges from voguing to full-on lip-syncing, with one memorable moment where he performs to the lyrics, “You’re perfect / Now work it.” The move is bound to make even the most hardened viewer smile — and some, perhaps, blush.

    The short film also features the beautiful ballad “Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente and the upbeat track “Perfect,” which further elevate Pascal’s performance. The combination of music, dance, and Pascal’s undeniable charisma has captivated audiences worldwide, with many fans and internet users showering the ad with praise.

    It’s safe to say the internet is thoroughly entertained and charmed.

    It’s not the first time Pascal has left the internet swooning with his dance moves. Fans might remember the time the actor posted an Instagram Story where he channeled a seductive scene from The House of Gucci, dancing to George Michael’s “Faith.”

    Additionally, Pascal’s on-screen camaraderie with fellow actors, including Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Paul Mescal, has often sparked playful fan reactions.

    For those eagerly awaiting Pascal’s next film, his upcoming project Materialists promises a different kind of charm. In the film, directed by Past Lives director Celine Song, Pascal plays a wealthy millionaire vying for the attention of Lucy, portrayed by Dakota Johnson. He competes with a struggling actor-waiter, played by Chris Evans. However, as one Twitter user aptly pointed out, “I’m supposed to believe in a world where someone would choose Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal? Not in my world.”

    Whether he’s dancing, acting, or simply being his charismatic self, Pascal continues to captivate audiences and prove that his talent goes far beyond his leading roles in blockbuster TV series and films. As for now, his viral dance moves are likely to keep him in the spotlight for quite some time.

    In the teaser, Cassandra faces impending death, whether her own or others’, with the power to change destiny. However, a perennial nemesis emerges in the form of Ezekiel Sims, played by Tahar Rahim. Despite his Spider-Man-like appearance, Sims deviates from the hero’s ethos. The synopsis hints at all four women possessing spider-like abilities, setting the stage for Sims’ relentless pursuit to eliminate them.

    “Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing’s most enigmatic heroines,” reads the synopsis. “Forced to confront revelations about her past, [Casandra] forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures…if they can all survive a deadly present.”

    The film also stars Emma Roberts and Adam Scott and is directed by S.J. Clarkson (Life on Mars).

    Watch the first trailer from Marvel Entertainment for Madame Web below.
